List Mgmt. Young Talent Time 2013

[Moo]

Always thought Clive was Toms brother..

Clive was walking next to him at the racetrack the other day - I know this because he had a black bag with 'CLIVE' stenciled across it.

 

[Moo]

Matthew Panos - Chris25 ....looks in reasonable form, 193cm and good kick.

Any chance we would rookie or late draft him?

 

[Chris25]

Possibly. But you have to wonder how good a key forward he is, if he couldn't even crack the Bulldogs side last year. I know they even tried him in the back lines in the VFL. Think the knocks on him were his lack of speed, and also that he isn't a big contested mark taker. Combine the two, and you'd question how he gets separation against the best defenders.

But, he has come back to the SANFL and gone about his business as usual. Has nice leading patterns and is an excellent shot on goal. He could get a rookie shot, but I still prefer Tom Langford.

 

[Taylor]

He also looks like he couldn't find the gym in the three years he spent at the dogs.

 

[Freo_4eva]

Is the U'18's game (WA and one of the vic sides) the curtain raiser on Saturday, can anyone confirm?

Is so will def. head in early to watch.. and yes, ill be one of those ppl who prints out the teamsheets and acts like they know what talent spotting is

 

[tofushark]

seems to be, says 11:20 at Subi on the AFL website

 

[Freo_4eva]

Thanks mate, wouldnt surpirse me if the gates dont open until midday and we miss the first quarter and a half

 

[Cameron_K]

I will be heading in early to watch it, if anyone wants to catch up let me know.

 

[Kunna17]

Ok, so as we're playing so well and have nothing to wign about talk seems to be about the draft and trading at end of year. Im not sure if there's already a thread for this, however since we are starting threads about imparticular players opinions made could be thrown up here.

How Many Picks will we use??
Mature age players? Thorpe?
Key Forwards??
Key Defenders??

I think 4 picks
1 - Key Forward (Jonathon Marsh)
2 - Key Defender (Unsure)
3 - Key Forward (Mitch Thorpe)
4 - Midfielder (Unsure)
Suggestions for Defenders, Midfielders or other Key Forwards I may have missed ...

EDIT: ASSUMING NO PICK TRADES ARE MADE

 

[Kunna17]

just read this to, sounds like a chance first round.
#26 – Carlton: Mitchell Harvey – KPF – (198cm-100kg)
One to watch. Harvey is a big strong power forward who is having a sensation year for North Adelaide in the U18’s and in his four games he has bagged 20 goals. He has really come on this year. Strong mark and a reliable kick for goal. A few things to work on, but the talent is clearly there.

 

[Seppo]

Kunna17 I have merged your thread with this existing one that Chris25 set up.

A lot of these young draftees have been mentioned.

 

[Kunna17]

ok chheers mate, i wasnt sure if 1 had been done.

 

[shiny_on_top]

Dom Sheed is a star. Would love him in purple.

Clem-Smith will also go VERY high next year.

 

[shiny_on_top]

Ripping end to the game other than a potential broken collarbone for Sheed.

 

[Purple_Passion]

Sheed is an absolute gun, would love to see Freo snap him up.

Cameron McCarthy was also very impressive - could he the answer to our forward woes?

 

[doberman]

Can't see Sheed sliding to our pick. He should easily be top 10. Although broken collar bone might allow some other players to jump him.

My family is really close to his family and it kills me inside knowing theres a high chance he might end up an Eagle, given their likely draft position and desire for quality midfielder.

 

[Sully90]

Will Sheed go top 10? I'd hate to see another WA gun midfielder go to an eastern states club and excel against us ala Simon Black. The kid's a leader through and through and is showing consistency already. He should be in line for our first pick if he's available, regardless of position.

Who does Dom support?

 

[RickSanchez]

Decided to be creepy, saw him on Facebook. There's a picture of him with an Eagles shirt on with Luke Shuey though.
Don't want anymore.
Seriously though, Eagles will probably nab him unfortunately.

Your stalking skills are well beyond mine, I could not see any of his pictures.

The more I look at his stats and bio the more likely it seems he will be snapped up before our first pick.

 

[FD2646]

From what I saw today I wouldn't mind Cam McCarthy from WA or Darcy hourigan from SA - the later may slide to the 2nd rnd as I believe he may only be 190cm

 

[doberman]

Who does Dom support?

From memory I think he's more of a WA supporter. Likes both Eagles and Dockers but probably a bit more of an Eagle.

I think that was for the AIS, he got to train with an AFL club for a week or so.

It might be because I have a mutual friend with him.

Think you're right here. Read the comments and it mentioned him training with the Eagles.

let him keep training there picking up "skills" from their mids, watch his form slide, & then we swoop, deprogramming him from the priddis-selwood-masten-embley infused "skills"

 

[free at last]

Sandgropers are mounting a comeback in the u/18's champs.

McCarthy up forward looks a likely freo kpf candidate.
